Fargo S3 casting

Ewan McGregor! And he's playing not one but two characters who are brothers!

Emmit Stussy is the Parking Lot King of Minnesota. A handsome, self-made, real estate mogul and family man, Emmit sees himself as an American success story. His slightly younger brother, Ray Stussy, on the other hand is more of a cautionary tale. Balding, pot-bellied, Ray is the kind of guy who peaked in high school. Now a parole officer, Ray has a huge chip on his shoulder about the hand he’s been dealt, and he blames his brother, Emmit, for his misfortunes.

Yes! Great actor, can not wait. I was pretty surprised by the casting announcement, I thought 2017 was so far away but I guess they would be getting cast and a lot of that pre production stuff started soon depending on how early in 2017 this airs.

I think it's really exciting. I love Ewan even in projects that aren't very interesting otherwise. It will be neat to see his take on a Fargo accent, although that's not exactly required. Many memorable characters haven't had the accent, like Mike Milligan last year. I think season 2 wasn't as good as season one, but don't kid yourself, it was still superior television.
